Description

Explore the real-world impact of modern water management with Drip Irrigation for Agriculture. Part of the Earthscan Studies in Water Resource Management series, this book moves beyond high-tech perceptions to examine how drip irrigation is actually used by farmers in emerging and developing countries. While many studies focus only on plot-level data, this work looks at the broader reality of smallholder farmers in the global South. It documents the spread of these systems, the enthusiasm they generate, and the practical disappointments or disillusionment that can occur. By looking behind the scenes, the text explains the specific conditions under which drip irrigation works, who benefits most, and what the long-term effects are on agricultural development. This book provides a necessary perspective for those studying water resource management, agricultural innovation, and development in the global South. It offers a deep look into the practical application and social reality of irrigation technology in changing environments.
